Single Performing Arts Lesson (8th January 2016)

We started this lesson in our groups with our spider diagrams from the last lesson. Our task was to create another piece from our ideas and perform it in our groups.
In our previous lesson our group were undecided on whether we wanted to use our idea for Domestic Abuse or our idea for Abortion. As we went for abortion previously we agreed on Domestic Abuse.

We brain stormed more ideas on how we could portray this and we came up with the idea of a clock. I was facing Lorna and Olly was facing Kat. On tick Olly and Kat would take 1 step clockwise and on Tock Lorna and I would take one step clockwise.
After 4 'tick tocks' Olly would repeatedly say 'Make it stop!' and on 6 'tick tocks' Kat would say before its too late.
We decided we wanted our audience sat in the middle and we would walk around them.
On the 10th 'Tick Tock' Katya shouted BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! That's where we stopped.

Kat and I turned to face the audience and Lorna and Olly went to the back of the stage. Katya and I simultaneously read statistics about Domestic abuse as Lorna and Olly created a real life interpretation of different forms of abuse (including physical and manipulation).

We ended the performance with Katya and I saying "Make it stop, before it's too late!"
